Scorpio (Blake's 7) – 1:140 Scale Studio-Style 3D Printable Kit + 1:350 Table-Top Model

Bring the gritty, golden era of 1980s British cult sci-fi to your display shelf. Inspired by the iconic Season 4 hero ship from Terry Nation’s legendary series Blake's 7, the Scorpio is the ultimate underdog spaceship—the scrappy planetary hopper that stepped up to replace the destroyed Liberator.

This model is a ground-up engineering redesign of the Wander-Class Planet Hopper (Mark II), developed to deliver an authentic studio miniature aesthetic with a modern, high-precision build workflow.

Whether you are a retro sci-fi enthusiast, a competitive miniature painter, or a fan of classic practical effects, this kit is designed to be the undisputed centerpiece of your collection.

Why This Kit Stands Out

• Engineered for the 3D Printing Workflow: Painstakingly optimized for resin printing. The files include alternative Forward Hull configurations to ensure you can print this massive beast whether you have a large-format printer or a standard-sized machine.

• The Ultimate Painter’s Canvas: No more masking nightmares around complex organic curves or dense greeble fields. The hull is broken down into logical, interlocking sub-assemblies. This allows you to airbrush, wash, and weather every single crevice before final assembly.

• Studio Scale Presence: At 1:140 scale, the finished model measures a commanding 308mm x 133mm x 116mm. It has the weight, tactile presence, and intricate surface detail of a screen-used filming miniature.

• Smart Internal Engineering: The hull is pre-shelled to save print material and reduce weight. It also incorporates integrated internal channels for a 10mm brass structural support rod, alongside dedicated alcoves to wire up 5mm LEDs to bring those massive engine bells to life.

What’s Included (Digital Files)

• High-Detail Core Kit:The complete 1:140 scale Scorpio (11 files total in STL and OBJ formats).

• Printer-Bed Alternatives: 2 alternative Forward Hull files to maximize compatibility across different print bed sizes.

• Optimized Geometry: Clean, high-poly files designed to slice flawlessly in Lychee, Chitubox, or Bambu Studio.

Perfect For

• Model Shows & Painting Competitions: A highly detailed, nostalgic subject that stands out dramatically in a sea of standard Star Wars and Star Trek builds. •80s Cult Sci-Fi Collectors: A physical tribute to the era of physical miniatures, practical model-making, and dark, dystopian space dramas. • Weathering & Detail Enthusiasts: Deep panel lines, intricate mechanical greebles, and distinct hull sections perfectly suited for advanced chipping, washing, and rust-streaking.

Technical Specifications & Print Recommendations

• Primary Scale: 1:140.

• Physical Dimensions: 308mm L x 133mm W x 116mm H.

• Structural Support: Engineered to accept a 10mm Ø brass rod through the main axis for robust display mounting.

• Recommended Scale: 100%. Due to the realistic shelled hull designed to optimize material use, downscaling significantly is not recommended as it may result in overly thin walls.
